10/10 Excellent
"Great room! Very modern and had everything we needed, only thing was the ice machine on our floor was broken so we couldn’t use it and the bathroom could use small toiletries as soap for hand washing which there was none. Other than that it was a great comfortable stay and would definitely be back"
